Chapter 501: Developments of the Parties (6)
Lingyun Mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It stands to reason that Ling Yuran, the head of the mountain gate who has nothing to do and is not allowed to leave the mountain gate at will, has escaped again, and for this third senior sister who has an uncertain temperament and is all about the flowery world outside, Qu Dan has no way at all. From complaining at the beginning, to being accustomed to it now, she feels that her heart seems to be getting bigger and bigger. But that's fine, so as not to add to the trouble. It's just the worry in my heart, and it's hard to let go.
Soon after, news came from the spy group. It is said that Helian Bo, the witch king of Mobei, died, and died soon after leaving the customs, Qu Dan does not think that this hard-lived old Wang Ba is at the end of his life, and he can be killed, and the whole world does not think about it. Only then did she understand where the senior sister who escaped from the mountain gate had gone, but she still didn't know what she was doing when she ran to Mobei.
Since the last accident, the second senior sister Qiu Yuting has also left. The departure of the two people was insignificant to the teachers of hundreds of people, but they have been together since childhood, and their relationship is very good, and they have long been used to being together. Now Qu Dan's heart is floating, he can't calm down at all, he has been distracted for a long time, and this soul is floating for most of the day.
On this day, she was still alone in the room, sitting at the table, with one hand on her cheek, quietly thinking about her own thoughts. A few moments later, there was a soft knock on the door. "Master, are you there?"
"Come in." Qu Dan was bored and responded lightly.
A delicate girl in an emerald green dress pushed the door in, and before entering the house, she cautiously glanced behind her, and the appearance of a thief fell into Qu Dan's eyes, and she couldn't help but amuse her. "Little warbler, what are you doing?"
Tao Xiaoying didn't say anything, she turned around and closed the door, and then trotted all the way to Qu Dan, took out an envelope with fire paint from her sleeve and handed it over, and whispered: "Lao Liu from the grocery store sent a letter, saying that it was for you, and he said... She hesitated slightly, gritted her teeth and said, "I also said that I can't let my uncle know, and I must hand it over to you personally." ”
"Oh?" Qu Dan was stunned for a moment, her seniority is extremely high in the master's sect, not only has apprentices, but even apprentices and grandchildren, but after all, she is still a girl in her twenties, curiosity is always there, she is also a scholar Tao Xiaoying raised her neck and glanced at the door, before saying, "But what else did you say?" ”
"No, I said I would hand it over to you personally." After speaking, Tao Xiaoying turned around and walked outside the house. "Master, I'll leave first if it's okay."
"Yes, go ahead." Waving her hand, after the apprentice came out of the house and closed the door again, Qu Dan opened the envelope and opened the paper. Qu Dan was so frightened that he jumped up from the bench like a cat with his tail stepped on, hurried to the door, and fastened the wooden bolt behind him. I still didn't feel at ease, so I closed the windows one by one, and then walked back to the table and sat down again.
Jiang Yun... What did he write to me? Qu Dan's heart was in turmoil, and for a while, his thoughts appeared to be flying out of the sky.
Her feelings about Jiang Yun are very complicated, the two met from a case related to the master, and from then on Qu Dan felt that he was an official with a very black heart but a very hot intestine. He did not leave behind the criminals, he was not afraid of power, and even killed the prince of the dynasty when he said to kill. Don't look at the transcendent status of the three saints of Lingyun Pavilion, in fact, the family is all bitter haha, if it weren't for the destruction of the family and the escape alone, he would not have been met by the master by chance and admitted to the master's door.
For this kind of official who dares to speak and do things for the people, Qu Dan naturally has a great affection. Xiaoyu's case can show Xuexue, she remembers this kindness in her heart, and often thinks that if she has the opportunity, she will definitely repay it. But I didn't want Jiang Yun to dispose of Queen Ding, not only did she not have any, but her official fortune was prosperous and soared, making her worry in vain.
Lingyun Mountain is not far from the capital, and there is an industry in Beijing, although the news transmission is not as detailed and fast as the spy alliance, but most of the things that happen in Beijing will reach her ears, and Qu Dan has been secretly paying attention to Jiang Yun. To put it mildly, she even wished that Jiang Yun would get into some trouble quickly, so that she could take this kindness. The result? As the days passed, there was indeed a lot of trouble, but still no one could help him, even the mad dog Zhou Ang was broken and planted in his hands.
I still remember that time, Jiang Yun escorted the envoy from the east all the way out of the capital, and met with the official road in the suburbs, Qu Dan originally went down the mountain to find Ling Yuran, and he didn't want to meet him again. Just that time, he ... I hugged myself to the brim. In the past 20 years, there has been a man who has been so close to her, Qu Dan is ashamed and annoyed, he should have been angry and rushed to the crown to teach this disciple a lesson, but he really couldn't have any hatred in his heart, but the feelings that made her a little afraid and a little looking forward to it always lingered.
When they met again, Qu Dan was still Qu Dan, but Jiang Yun was no longer the same Jiang Yun as before, he had a relationship with the financial alliance, and even appeared as the lord of the financial alliance, which shocked Qu Dan too much. Speaking of which, Wuzong and Caimeng are both part of the Ancestral Sect, but after the accident hundreds of years ago, the Caimeng, who was ruthlessly put together, has a deep resentment towards the Ancestral Sect, and they have all the wealth they can take away, leaving only a little soup for Da Zhou, and the contradictions between each other are difficult to reconcile, and gradually evolve into this kind of unending situation.
The second senior sister Qiu Yuting and the deputy lord of the financial alliance have caught up, and there has been such a disturbance, the majesty of Wuzong has been greatly lost, the combat power of the spy alliance has been lost, and the three elders of Wenzong have also touched their noses. After the war, even Xing Lie died inexplicably, and he was replaced by an unknown person who became the lord of the Dark Alliance, which can be described as stealing chickens and rice. New hatred and old hatred, then her faint feelings may not have begun, and they are already destined to end without a problem.
I thought it would be difficult for the two to meet again in this life, even if they were afraid of seeing each other, they would see each other, but they didn't want to... He wrote.
The letter paper on the table seemed to be a little hot, and Qu Dan's jade hand like condensation stretched and shrunk, shrunk and stretched, and only then did it touch, and then retracted again. There was no one in the room, so she didn't have to put on the proud appearance of the past, she raised her hand and patted her head in a cute manner, secretly saying that she was useless. The towering chest rose and fell for a while, and Qu Dan picked up the letter, opened it, and read it.
"Miss Qu, seeing words is like faces. It has been a few months since I said goodbye last time, and my sister is about to give birth, and everything is fine. Lest the girl be worried about it, she specially instructed her to come down and report her safety. ”
“。。。”
"Tonight, I will have a banquet for the girl in the Zuifeng Building in Beijing, and I must gather with my face, and I will not see you or disperse." The place where the payment is made is the word "Jiang Yun".
Putting down the letter, Qu Dan fell silent. Do you want to meet? Should I go? It stands to reason that she can't go, although she misses her senior sister, but Qiu Yuting is no longer a person from Lingyun Pavilion after all, not to mention that Jiang Yun's current identity is really a little sensitive, if this matter is known to senior sister...
Qu Dan angrily tore up the letter in his hand and threw it away, and secretly warned himself that he must not go... Can't go ... Can go ... Go...
Night.
A huge plaque with "Drunken Wind Building" appeared in front of him, Qu Dan patted his head in annoyance, and secretly scolded himself for not being angry, saying that he couldn't come, but seeing that the sun was about to set, his heart was in a mess like an empty one, and when he came back to his senses, the person had already arrived.
Why don't you go back? It's still too late! As soon as the thought came to her, she shook her head vigorously. That's it, since you've come here, it's okay to see each other, there's nothing to be afraid of. Qu Dan took a deep breath, a touch of frost appeared on his pretty face, and he strode in with a cold face.
Qu Dan had just entered, and Xiao Er, who was guarding the side, greeted him. He put on a smile on his face, rubbed his hands and said, "Dare to ask this girl if she has ever booked a seat?" ”
"Nope."
"Oh?" The little girl looked embarrassed and said, "Girl, I'm sorry." The store is already full, and there are really no seats, so do you want to... ”
"I'm looking for someone." Glancing at the chaotic lobby of the restaurant, Qu Dan looked up at the corridor and asked, "Is there a reservation named Jiang Yun?" ”
Hearing this name, Xiao'er's face turned pale, and he hurriedly turned his head and looked. "Shopkeeper, this girl said she was looking for a guest officer named Jiang Yun."
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his thirties, each of them is not tall, but his belly is not small, he is shy, he walked around the counter with a smile on his face and greeted him, looked Qu Dan up and down, and then smiled: "Yes, there is indeed a guest officer named Jiang Yun who has booked a private room on the second floor, and others are already waiting inside." As he spoke, he turned his head to Xiao Er and said, "Between the moon numbers, you can take this girl there." ”
"Okay, girl, please come with the little one."
After the two left, the shopkeeper stood quietly for a moment, suddenly his eyes flashed slightly, raised his hand and beckoned another junior to come over, and commanded softly: "People are here, act according to the plan." ”
Xiao Er nodded, and walked to the back hall silently. Entering the back hall, he went straight to the last room before he stopped, pushed the door and stepped in. The room is quite simple, with only a few simple wooden furniture. Xiao Er came to the bedside, squatted down and opened the wooden cabinet in front of him.
When the wooden cabinet was opened, two delicate and small porcelain vases suddenly came into view, and Xiao Er was stunned when he saw it. The heart said that the shopkeeper asked him to get a bottle, and he didn't say which one, no, maybe he did, but he was deserting at that time, and he didn't hear clearly. It's a problem... Xiao Er had the heart to go back and ask again, but thinking of the shopkeeper's strict style on weekdays, he was frightened and couldn't take a step.
He squatted there and hesitated for a moment, secretly considering. Since it was arranged by the Lord, although the method was a little indiscriminate, but... Still can't spoil his old man's business, one of these two bottles is a drug soft tendon powder, once taken, after the effect of the drug is onset, no matter how powerful it is on weekdays, don't want to use it at all within half an hour, the Lord should want to tie people up.
Since he was kidnapping, his old man had already prepared and must have taken the antidote in advance. The other bottle may also be a drug, or maybe it may not be... Forget it, after all, it's a restaurant, and the shopkeeper has no reason to prepare poison. . . He thought about it, gritted his teeth again, simply put the two porcelain vases into his arms, and walked out quickly.
Thinking about doing so much, he gave him both bottles, and the worst result was to kill the lord and pour the medicine together, and turned around and tied up the woman, and then asked the shopkeeper for the antidote. Xiao Er was secretly proud, feeling more and more that he was a genius, an accident or something, how could it be difficult for him? It is better to kill the wrong than to let it go, and it is certain that it cannot be wrong.
Xiao Er trotted all the way to the kitchen with the porcelain vase, and the seven or eight exquisite side dishes prepared for the Lord had been prepared, and an extra pot of good wine was scalded. Xiao Er took out the porcelain bottle, poured the two bottles into the wine jug without leaking, and then walked straight to the private room on the second floor with the food.
----------------------
Qu Dan was taken to the second floor, and followed the aisle to the last of the most remote private rooms, she saw at a glance the six or seven private rooms around, and no one sat down, and said that maybe Jiang Yun was all covered, but also afraid that the conversation would fall into the ears of others, and she couldn't help but be more curious about this meeting, and she didn't know what Jiang Yun was thinking.
Xiao Er confessed and retreated.
Qu Dan stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door away with a straight face. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Jiang Yun, who had been waiting for a long time. He had an indifferent smile on his face, and when he saw Qu Dan coming, Jiang Yun hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Miss Qu, don't come unharmed." He supported Qu Dan with one hand, and pointed to his seat with the other and said, "Come, hurry up and take a seat." ”
Before she came, Qu Dan's heart was very entangled and complicated, and when she saw this familiar face at this moment, the sinister smile that was always hanging on the corner of her mouth, she found that her heart was even more complicated, and even the frost on her face was faintly a feeling that she couldn't hang up.
Afraid that Jiang Yun would see the clue, she turned her head to the side, didn't look at him, came to the table and sat down, untied the long sword behind her back, and put it aside.
Looking at the long sword that could kill people at any time, Jiang Yun's smile couldn't help but stiffen slightly. When it comes to mentality, he is the same as Qu Dan, equally complex and apprehensive.
Jiang Yun had previously discussed with Ji Feng whether it was better for the Jiangnan army to take the capital or the Yizhou army to take the capital. The placement of Ji Qiyun is a hurdle that Ji Feng can't bypass, and in the end, both of them made up their minds that the capital would be taken by Lu Xun.
But the problem is that when Yizhou enters the capital, there is also a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, that is, Wuzong!
The fundamental meaning of the existence of the ancestral religion is not to let the Ji family fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames, if Ji Feng raises troops to attack the capital, this is civil strife, it is the Ji family's own business, no matter who wins or loses, Da Zhou is still Da Zhou, so Wu Zong is not too lazy to care about this, and will never obstruct it, even if Ji Qiyun goes up the mountain to ask for help, it is useless. But if the Yizhou soldiers came to the city, for Wuzong, this move was no different from the invasion of the Huns, even if Ji Qiyun didn't say a word, they would still intervene.
That's a lot of trouble!
Ling Yuran's problem no longer exists, Jiang Yun has already discussed with Lu Xun, there is a way to return Xiao Ran to Yizhou after the end of the Battle of the Ryukyus, and it is impossible for her to rush back to the capital in a short time. But the problem is that all the current high-level forces in Yizhou are going east to assist the snake lord in terrorist activities, and the only remaining power in his hands is the 30,000 temple guards.
The temple guards are considered masters among the masters of ordinary armies, but in front of the three saints of Lingyun Pavilion, they are almost no different from children. Even if Qiu Yuting is missing, as long as Dai Lingjun is there and Qu Dan is there, the capital is destined to be untakable, and even Yizhou will pay an extremely painful price for this.
This is what Jiang Yun does not want to see. Therefore, while discussing this issue, he is already trying to solve the biggest problem at hand.
